The storyline for this live-action version is much darker than the original animated version. Before Mowgli leaves, his wolf mother, Roksha (Lupita N’yongo), reminds him that he will always be her son.
Mowgli leaves his wolfpack, because he wants to save his “family” from any danger for keeping him there. Shere Kahn threatens the wolves because he wants to kill Mowgli, who belonged to the human kind who burned his face. Mowgli has only known the jungle, but during the water-truce, Shere Kahn (Idris Elba), a tiger, threatens the wolves raising him. The star-studded cast includes Bill Murray (Baloo), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Scarlett Johanson (Kaa) and Christopher Walken (King Louie). It tells the same story as the classic film about a man-cub named Mowgli (Neel Sethi). The newest live-action Disney movie, “The Jungle Book,” hit theatres April 15.
